This plugin for MuseScore 2.x reads chord (Harmony) texts and creates Chord notes in one added staff, and bass note in another added one if chosen. The created notes have correct durations according to the duration of the written chord, and are playable by MuseScore.
The plugin uses rules in wiki: Chord names and symbols (popular music) (as I understand them). All possible combinations of chords according to rules in that page are recognized and will generate notes.
The created notes are more of a suggestion, to get it to sound nice it's perhaps a good idea to move some notes one octave up or down, or just remove them.

The plugin adds two staves*, one for chord notes (called root chord) and one for bass notes*.
*The plugin starts with an option box, there you can set the options you want, see Options below. E.g. don't add bass notes.
The plugin will try to close the score when finished, then asking for <Save>, <Discard> or <Cancel>. The reason is that the score will be in a bad state after the plugin have finished, and the added notes are not playable yet. So, do save/close.

Rules
Chords can be written in different ways, this plugin allows all alternatives described in used Chord rules, and some more. "Chord containing quarter tones" and "Polychords" are not implemented though.
